Jesse Aarons: [crying] Is it like the Bible says? Is she going to Hell?
Jack Aarons: I don't know everything about God, but I do know he's not going to send that little girl to Hell.
Jesse Aarons: [sobs] Then I'm going to Hell, because it's all my fault.
Jack Aarons: Don't you think that, even for a minute.
Jesse Aarons: How come you're so good at that?
Leslie Burke: Good at what?
Jesse Aarons: Building stuff. I mean, you're really good at it for a girl.
Leslie Burke: Same way I'm fast... for a girl.
Jesse Aarons: You know what I mean.
Leslie Burke: You're pretty
good at art, for a boy.
Jesse Aarons: Okay, okay, truce.
Mrs. Myers: When my husband died, people kept telling me not to cry. People kept trying to help me to forget. But, I didn't wanna forget.
[sniffles]
Mrs. Myers: Excuse me.
[chuckles]
Mrs. Myers: The things that girl came up with. I don't get students like her too often. So I realize, that if it's hard for me, how much

Scott Hoager: Your dad doesn't know anything. We watch TV like every day!
Leslie Burke: I rest my case.
Mrs. Myers: Well then, Leslie, you don't have to write this
essay. You can pick something else to write about.
Scott Hoager: Yeah, like how to live in a cave!
Jesse Aarons: [squogres come] Where are Terabithian warriors when you need 'em?
Leslie Burke: I don't know!
Jesse Aarons: [Terabithian warrior comes] Great! Now there's three of us!
Jesse Aarons: Look, the Squogre and the Vulture.
Gary Fulcher: Hey, here he comes.
Leslie Burke: And a guy who can stand up to a squogre is scared of a Hoager?
Jesse Aarons: [pauses, then walks up to Ms. Edmunds's car] Ms. Edmunds?
Ms. Edmonds: [gasps] He speaks!
